Through this collaboration, we will implement strategies to minimize our carbon footprint and benefit from advanced methods for tracking and reporting our greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, we’ll be working on setting and achieving realistic sustainability goals. We look forward to fostering a ‘Green Team’ within our organization to boost employee engagement and take full advantage of the educational opportunities SWR provides. The expertise of Sustainable Waterloo Region will provide invaluable support in our future policy development, highlighting our commitment to a sustainable future.” said Mark Hackett, Manager of Environmental Services.
